I have really been bitten by the 109F4. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
-
P38L
-
The P-38.
Natedog has done an excellent job capturing the beauty of the P-38 with Major Tom McGuire's P-38L, the difficult decisions will be when he does such a similarly masterful job on the earlier models ...

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Have ta give that some thought.

Was the N1k now its the p38, was my main ride in WB and now it is here. Awaiting the FM-2 spit killer though, yes I'm a closet wildkitty fanatic.

Love the Spit Mk IX.
But am learning the Me109 G-10 ( It's a squadron thing). Starting to feel comfortable in it and starting to like it!!

Most definately at present the P-38.
I enjoy all planes, but my second choice lately might be the G10 w/gondolas.
Check my K/D I seem to be in everyone elses favorite plane as well.

p51,109F & 190A8 (nice to see an 190A4 soon)
Ive flown all these AC with equal endevor. And Fishu, As you might have figured out, I was flying under the handle of Typhoon to prove the 190 was grossly over modeled (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
My p51 & 190 stats where the same (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
And for the curious, my 3rd handle was Panther,flew all countries and any AC, cept the spit (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Any plane I can get a kill in. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) (My computer has decided that I shall have no kills without being locked or discoed for each one. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif) )
Honestly, c205, f4u-1c, b26, and 109g10.

Like the pony, the P38 +
love the spit 9 .cool:
blitz
-
C205
B26
B17
P51 for escorting only.
Of course I always liked the P38 so I have to try that out too. Not sure if my P38 will replace my P51 as escort.
It's probably not a great thing since I've heard you should try to know your enemies, but I really have not even tried out some of the other planes.

You know, now that I think about it, I enjoy, according to my mood:
c.205 (Standard steed)
109F4/G2. these are a gas in knife fights.
109G10 (Nothing better for buff intercepts. Or if you're really feeling mean, get it fast on the deck and shoot through crowds)
La-5FN. This is a fun plane. It's not so good for hunting bombers though.
FW (Still can't get the hang o' it though)
B17 for ackstar duty, B26 for ripping up fields, the bus for when I want to see the scenery up close.
That leaves:
Spit V -- with the HS for the C47, and 4x.303 for the troops, plus nice cornering ability, this is the stratbuster.
Spit IX -- I'm starting to dislike strongly meeting this bird at alt.
109G6 -- nothing wrong with it, I guess.
N1K -- Dunno, something seems odd to me about turning a plane with that many cannons.
P38L -- I should consider the jabo possibilities of this bird.
F4U-1D
P51D Runstang. nuff said. I do miss the glass stab though. That was always the best, you ShVAK the SOB at 800 yards, the stab falls off and the runstang stops running
F4U-1C. Keep your speed up, fly fast, pull the trigger. Don't get hit by more than 50 cannon rounds or you might lose something. Or so it seems. Actually, this isn't a bad choice if you knock the acks down in the city and want to go to town, HS style.

P-38L, the 109F or the F4U-1D, ...and hmmm.... the 205.
P-38 right now is favorite but the 109F is a close, close 2nd.

La5 seems to be my plane. I disagree dinger, LA5 is as good a buff buster as anything. I am starting to like the 109's, mainly the G2. Though I have many kills robbed from me when I fly it...good thing score is irrelevant (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
-
It depends on what i think i'll be doing.
For Sweeps/patrols:
LA-5, Spit IX
Furball busting/vultching:
LA-5, 190
Buff Hunting
190 with 30 mm (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
The only prob with the LA-5 is that it is outclassed in climb performance at high alt.
Im still to give the P-38 a good run. Impressive hi-alt performace, and retains E like nothing else. I'll get flamed for this but i think its overmodelled :P
I want a spit XIV. Now i would be a dangerous bugger in that (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Currently F4U-1C. Means my gunnery will be at least semi-decent at 4x20mm for my shift to the Typhoon (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) I'll probably have difficulty having fun in the Tiffy.. but I'm damned if I won't give it a go (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Typhoon/F4U-1C, what's the difference? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Both have around 2,100 hp, weigh in around 13,000lbs ready to fly, and are both mediocre turners. I bet you won't see that much difference (other than the better view in the Typhoon).

My favorite:
All around fighter: C205
Outnumbered, but want to be on the offensive: P-51
Base Defence Fighter (`cuz you aren't going to catch anything ;-) Spit Mk V
Also enjoy the P-38 (Because it's a P-38!) and you don't have to trim aileron...I will probably like it more when it recieves the dive breaks ;-)

Ahem...lets see:
Fw190 I cant fly the damned thing but I love it (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
SpitIX (If you catch me on a spit higher than you...ruuuuunnnnn (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif))
SpitV Hehehe...Wardog, Packrat, Hangtime...<S> from my SpitV!!! indeed great night today!!! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif). Nothing beats this thing defending bases!!!
P-51: Easy to fly!!!??? this thing?!??...it runs a lot. But I have no fun running, I like to down people (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) and those 6 MGS aren't for me
P-38: Oups...The only pure E-fighter I don't like. Biiiig target...and I simply cant fly it! LOL
Me109F: nah, I never go in this one...I guess i must give it a chance...and we'll see
Me190G-2: see above (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Me109G-6: I tried it a couple of times. I died both...not very promising LOL
Me109G-10: Very unstable for me. And I simply dont have the gunnery to kill people with the 30mm (cuz I dont hit a sheep with it) nor the 20mm (see above, plus It has much less punch than the 30mm). I do apreciate its climbrate and acceleration...but I cant fly it.
La5FN. Curious I dot like it but I do good runs on it...I do apreciate it as a BnZ-mer, though.
F4U1-C: I Love it. It must be something it its look, those cranked wings...and those 4 hispanos...!!! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
F4U1-D: Lepht,man,you can say the C is for girls. Then I better get the dress and panties cuz I cant kill a F***ed fly with those MGs!!!! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
C-205: I hate it when I fly it. I hate it more when I fly against it. This damned thing has killed me thousand of times.
N1K2: See above...but this one has killed me less times (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
B26 and B17...nahhh...bombers...I like ACTION!!! lol (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
C47: eheheheh I love this one...more than ever with an enemy F4U1-C in my tail saying "hello" (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
For me the winner is...
FW190A-4!!!! I WANT IIIIT I WANT IIIIT I WANT IIIIIT! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
